Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he plans to take in response to departments that do not register evaluations on the Government Evaluation Registry by the required deadlines; and whether penalties are imposed for repeated non-compliance.

The Evaluation Task Force undertakes quarterly monitoring and compliance checks to ensure that Departments are registering their planned evaluations on the Government Evaluation Registry.

In any cases where evaluations are not registered, the Evaluation Task Force will seek to resolve the issue with the relevant department or, where necessary, via the Office for Statistics Regulation.
